Welcome to practically

0:15

married, the podcast created to

0:18

help dating engaged and newly

0:18

married couples prepare for

0:22

healthy long term committed

0:22

relationships. I'm Paula Holt.

0:27

And on this show, I'm gonna

0:27

bring you conversations with

0:30

experts, who will give you tools

0:30

to take your relationship to the

0:34

next level. Although many of our

0:34

guests will be therapists,

0:38

please keep in mind that

0:38

practically married is for

0:41

educational purposes only, and

0:41

is not a substitute for therapy

0:46

with a licensed professional. Hi, and welcome back to the

0:53

show. So I was planning to

0:57

release an episode announcing

0:57

that we were taking some time

1:00

off before coming back with a

1:00

second season this fall. And

1:04

then I got sick, and I couldn't

1:04

talk for long stretches without

1:08

coughing and clearing my throat,

1:08

which was pretty annoying to the

1:11

people around me and I thought

1:11

will be very annoying to you as

1:16

listeners. So unfortunately, I

1:16

dismissed the last couple of

1:19

weeks, which was not my plan.

1:19

But you know, life happens,

1:23

right? Well, I am excited for

1:23

the next season. And I've

1:27

already started lining up

1:27

guests. But if there are any

1:31

topics you want me to cover,

1:31

please DM me. I'm also

1:35

continuing to work on securing

1:35

some special offers and

1:38

discounts for resources to help

1:38

support your relationship.

1:42

Lastly, and season two, we want

1:42

to bring on couples who are

1:46

interested in learning skills

1:46

and strategies for navigating

1:49

one or more of the practically

1:49

marry subjects. So basically,

1:53

I'd love to give some couples a

1:53

chance to talk to our experts

1:56

and not just listen. If you and

1:56

your partner are interested.

2:01

Here's a nice to be both of you.

2:01

Go to practically

2:04

married.net/podcast and you'll

2:04

see a forum where you can tell

2:08

us a little about yourself and

2:08

what you like to talk about.

2:13

Thank you to everyone who's been

2:13

listening. I really appreciate

2:16

that. And I'm especially

2:16

grateful to those of you who

2:20

submitted a rating and or review

2:20

on your favorite podcast

2:24

platform. I also want to say a

2:24

special thanks to my guests thus

2:29

far. Shemaiah Derek it cones

2:29

Natalie Slagle, Christie Kim,

2:35

Keely Rankin, Amelia pleasant,

2:35

Kennedy and Nikki lively. Thank

2:41

you for sharing your time and

2:41

expertise in this effort of

2:44

helping couples prepare for the

2:44

next chapter in their

2:47

relationship. That's all I want

2:47

to share with you for now. I

2:51

hope you'll keep listening and

2:51

keep using what you've learned

2:55

in season one. I'll talk to you

2:55

in the fall. Take care.

3:08

Thanks for joining us this week.

3:20

and your partner want to come on

3:24

the show and talk to one of our

3:24

experts. Please take a moment to

3:28

leave us a review and hopefully

3:28

a five star rating. But the best

3:32

way to support the show would be

3:32

to tell someone about it. Tell

3:36

your friends, your family, your

3:36

wedding vendors and even your

3:39

therapist. But most of all,

3:39

share it with your partner.

3:43

That's all for now. Have a good

3:43

one.
